Read from the bbs…

A fan who went to the Hi! Hey! Say! recording heard this from a JFC staff… that the no. of applications received for Takizawa Kakumei’s senshuuraku show on 1/27 was almost twice the no. of seats in Yokohama Arena (seating capacity is about 17,000). So, that makes it more than 30,000 applications? And Imperial Theatre only has 1,697 S-seats. You do the calculations yourself~ just what are the chances of winning a ballot for that show? t__t; No wonder so many people lost their ballots! This show wasn’t even put up for public balloting…

Until now, Jticket hasn’t put up any Takizawa Kakumei tix for balloting either, and many people I know who have tried the public balloting lost their ballots too. Sigh~~ I hope all Takki fans will be able to get their tix! Ganbatte ne!!! *hugs*

Also, Takki will be in the January 2009 issue of “Nikkei Health” (released 12/2). [Updated: Takki will also be in the January 2009 issue of "POPEYE" (released 12/10).]

In this issue of Tokyo Walker, Takki has a talk with comedic duo “ものいい”.

Hi! Hey! Say! recording on 11/27

Takki attended the recording yesterday. We’re not sure of the O/A date yet, but according to fans who were there, Takki’s new “foreign artiste” hairstyle is… a bit longer than his hair in kokuchisezu (somewhat like the hair length in “Serenade”) and brighter (somewhat like his hair in “Sotsugyou”). Mitaiiii~~~ ^^

He sang the new song (Ai Kakumei) twice, probably with 2 different set of Jrs as backdancers. And there was talking time between the songs, and also after the second time he sang. A fan commented that “his skin looked silky smooth and it didn’t look any less smoother than the younger Jrs.” ^^ And another one commented that “he sang very well and I’m looking forward to its broadcast”.

Some of them said that his skin looks lighter than usual with blond hair. I think I know what they mean… Look at the latest Popolo scans :)

Shounen Club

Takki will appear on Shounen Club too. Info just came in from J-net via Nyanco :) The recording will be on 12/15, but the air date isn’t known yet.

(more…)

Thanks, NYANCO, for scanning these pretties from “Hanako” 11/27 issue (no. 935) :)

Neowing has put up pre-orders for Tackey and Tsubasa 2009-2010 school calendars! The release date is 20 March 2009. I expect CDJapan to post it soon, probably tomorrow? Ahhh~~ I wonder what kind of photoshoot it’ll be!! ^^ Tanoshimi!! And I think CDJapan doesn’t allow more than 1 calendar per order, while HMV increased their shipping price before at the last minute, so that leaves me with either Amazon… or Kinokuniya? Hmm…
